Still Can't Get Your Dude to Wear Sunscreen? Try This One

I went to the beach with my boyfriend last week and discovered something: Guys really, really, really hate sunscreen. To them, there's nothing worse than rubbing goopy white lotion all over a body that, by the way, happens to be covered in hair (and while we're being honest, the thought of taking on that task isn't all that appealing). And it's not just my boyfriend: In a 2012 Skin Cancer Foundation survey, only 49 percent of men reported using sunscreen regularly.

But sunburn and skin cancer don't sound so hot either, so I took it upon myself to find something (other than a towel) to cover him with. We cycled through sport sticks, lightweight serums, and even body oils—which might sound sexy in a *Magic Mike *sort of way, but...no. Trust me. Then, we finally found SPF nirvana: Sun Bum Continuous Spray Sunscreen aerosol formula. The nonsticky spray hits the hard-to-reach areas, dries before the sand can cling to it, is sweatproof, waterproof, and, perhaps best of all, doesn't need to be rubbed, smeared, or spackled onto skin. Plus, a local surfer told me he liked the gorilla on the packaging. See? Totally guy approved. Go with the SPF 70, so you only need to have the sunscreen talk once (or twice, depending on how long you're out there)—and touch up your own application while you're at it.
